Help[Opinions] Re: Grace
in reply to a message by Perrine
omg I loathe it.
It's not just boring - it's vapid, conceited, and saccharine.
But the vehemence of that reaction is probably coming from my expectation that the people using it have values that radically oppose mine and/or who come across as obnoxious to me, which may be a regional thing - and I see it a lot (I think more than its position on the chart would normally suggest), especially in double/combined names.
The name's never held any charm for me, though. There was a show called Grace Under Fire on TV when I was a kid, and my impression of it then was that is seemed dowdy or unkempt - possibly because it sounds similar to grease.
Grazia - I just think grazie / gracias
Graziella - I imagine a wizened old lady, and I like the sound; the *ella is a bit off-putting to me but that might also be what makes me think it could work
